Quadruple split

【Punch】!

Although all evasive angles had been locked, Xinglong did not sit still and waited for death. When Cordoba's powerful and heavy iron mountain hit him, he raised his right arm and smashed out a weapon full of murderous intent. A punch, although this hasty blow may not be able to contain the opponent, but it is still better than being hit firmly by that shoulder that is so hard just by looking at it.

However, what shocked Xinglong was that his punch actually intercepted Cordoba firmly, causing the latter to stop about half a meter in front of him.

At this moment, many spectators thought that Xinglong’s seemingly powerful and powerful punch was not at a disadvantage in the exchange. After realizing this, they continued to cheer Xinglong loudly. But Xinglong himself, as the person involved, knew very well that this was not the case at all.

Rather than saying that he intercepted the opponent's impact, it is better to say that Cordoba's "Iron Mountain", which seemed to be full of impact, had no strength at all. Even if the awakening dragon did not take action, Cole Dowa has a high probability of stopping after actually hitting the former.

And the key point is also after stopping——

【Normal Attack】

An extremely natural and unflashy palm struck the side of the opponent's neck. Cordoba swung out a sharp blow almost as soon as he stopped in his tracks, while Xinglong, who was exerting his force in the completely wrong direction, had to sweep it out in a hurry. One kick, trying to make an exchange with Cordoba where he is bound to suffer a loss, but because he has the trait [flame], he may not suffer too much.

As a result, what Xinglong didn't expect was that Cordoba, who obviously would make more money by exchanging blows, had no intention of exchanging injuries with him. Instead, he gave up the sword without hesitation and jumped behind with a light move. Then he waved the bare punisher's staff.

And this seemingly light and comfortable back jump made Xinglong, who was already tense, break out in a cold sweat.

Although it seems to be just an ordinary action, in Xinglong's view, there is not much content contained in this back jump, and the simplest, most intuitive, and easiest to understand is that the distance between the two parties is determined by this The back jump is extended to just beyond the limit of close-up bunt play, and is extremely suitable for the distance of long weapons.

You know, although the Punisher's Staff in Cordoba's hand has lost its edge, it can still fight in the form of a 'stick' or a 'staff'. At this distance, although it is only for an instant, it can still fight. A situation emerged where "the awakening dragon can only be beaten unilaterally".

Of course, this didn't just make Awakening Dragon directly passive, but he almost took a step to the side while Cordoba jumped back, and then he had to add an extra 'sweep' action to the Punisher's Staff before he could hit it. When he stepped forward, he not only did not choose to avoid the edge temporarily, he even stepped forward to meet Cordoba with the intention of playing a close bunt with Cordoba again.

The reason is very simple and pure, that is, putting aside all the fancy reasons, for the 'Warrior Monk' professional system, the closer the distance to the opponent is, the better!

As the most 'unsophisticated' player in the professional circle, Awakening Dragon's decision did not surprise anyone, yes, anyone...

In other words, even Cordoba, its opponent, was not surprised by this either!

Boom! Boom! Boom! !

Fist to fist, palm to palm, although in the current state, every blow of the Awakening Dragon is extremely heavy, and almost all of it has many powerful qualities. Cordoba's fists and palms are read as normal attacks and written as ordinary. The attack was just a normal attack anyway, but it was not at a disadvantage at all, and it even maintained a level of overpowering Xinglong!

…

"Simple, brutal, and effective."

In Gawen's private room, Merlin stared intently at Cordoba on the screen, or to be more precise, he stared at the dazzling red rune on Cordoba's shoulder, and pondered: " It should be a matter of iteration, I haven't seen this kind of independent structure on that relatively primitive body before, of course, it may be that it originally existed, but was broken by Boy Mo."

Gawen tilted her head to look at Merlin curiously and asked, "So can you replicate these simple and effective functions in Osiris or Arthur?"

"You seem to have some misunderstandings about my level, little girl Gawen."

Merlin glanced sideways at Gawen and said calmly: "Although I am a fairly outstanding scientific researcher, I don't have a nickname called 'God', and that thing named Cordoba is It is the crystallization of the most advanced technology under this worldview. It is no exaggeration to say that the person who made it must be a person who is no less talented, knowledgeable, and wise than me, and has been immersed in this field for a long time. And yours The question is, without a doubt, a huge offense."

Gawen immediately nodded and admitted his mistake obediently: "I'm sorry, Master Merlin, so can you reproduce these simple and effective functions on Osiris or Arthur?"

"..."

Merlin had nothing to do with this thoughtful girl, and finally said calmly after a brief silence: "Mechanics are not my area of ​​expertise, and developing a stable and systematic specialized structure from scratch is a fantasy. It's better to say , both Arthur and Osiris are still stuck on the most basic link of 'energy', so if you want to achieve similar results...the right path will not work."

Ji Xiaodao, who was staring at the screen and watching the game, heard this and immediately asked without looking back: "Have you taken the right path?"

"I am just a researcher who is always hungry and greedy for the truth."

Merlin smiled and then continued to answer Gawen's question: "You can take shortcuts. After all, I have no moral obsessiveness, but this is not what needs to be talked about now. I have too many things to do. Regarding the God-killing Star, Optimization and improvement are just one of them. If you don't do a good job in project management, it will be difficult to continue to produce results that satisfy Mo Xiaozi, so..."

Jiawen interrupted Merlin with a deep sigh, and rubbed his forehead tiredly: "I have been paying attention to the assistant, but your requirements are too high. If I were to spend money to hire someone in reality, Fortunately, if it’s limited to the realm of innocence, to be honest, it’s too difficult.”

"If it's difficult, just work harder to overcome it."

The old god Merlin took a sip of Bingkuoluo comfortably, then turned his attention to Cordoba on the screen again, and said in an arrogant and unreasonable tone: "Don't disturb me from observing this puppet."

Jia Wen, who had hit a soft nail, stuck out her tongue, then approached Ji Xiaodao and asked with a smile: "What do you think, Sister Silent Prayer?"

"Look with your eyes."

The dark elf answered with a cold voice without any emotion.

"oops!"

Gawen, who seemed to have given herself a girl-next-door persona today, immediately pouted and asked reluctantly: "I'm talking about this game! Are you more optimistic about Cordoba or Awakening Dragon? "

"Cordoba."

"why?"

"Because I want to beat him in the next game."

Calmly repeating what he had said before, Ji Xiaodao, who had already made up his mind to join Cordoba in the semi-finals, simply ignored the awakening dragon on the screen and, like Merlin, focused all his energy on observing Cordoba. above.

The difference between the two is that Merlin focuses on observing the 'rune body' that is equivalent to the body, while Ji Xiaodao focuses on the 'pilot' inside the body.

It's not that she looks down on Xinglong. In fact, if Ji Xiaodao was hit head-on by that ultimate move that gathered the power of the Four Saints in the situation just now (the possibility is very low), she thinks that nine out of ten times, she would have directly hit him. He was defeated by Xinglong, but now that Xinglong had already used it once, whether it was the buff from the Four Saints or the terrifying blow just now, the threat to Ji Xiaodao was already great. The magnitude has dropped, and the threat level can be said to have directly changed from 'lethal' to 'troublesome'.

The difference between using the same move for the first time and the second time is so great that if Ji Xiaodao herself were to judge, she would even conclude that before watching this game, the difference between her and Xinglong The odds of winning or losing are at most seven to three, and after witnessing the various effects and characteristics of its skills, this probability will directly become a 'nine to one' conclusion.

And this is the reason why everyone tries to hide their clumsiness as much as possible during the game. After all, the reason why the trump card is the trump card is to surprise everyone at the critical moment. If it is turned into a bright card, it will be innocent. The personal style of Zhijie is extremely obvious and will almost never appear in a homogeneous game, so the effect will naturally be greatly reduced.

This is why the warlock gave up in the previous battle with Cordoba.

Awakening Dragon only used [Cang Emperor Qinglong Yi] when fighting Rebecca before, for the same reason.

At this moment, Xinglong, who had exhausted all his trump cards, could no longer attract Ji Xiaodao's attention, but Cordoba's changes made her, who had always wanted to avenge her past, become even more vigilant. stand up.

[Combat Data Module].

Unlike Awakening Dragon, as a real friend, the girl has always known that such a system was installed on Cordoba, but she also knew that such a convenient and easy-to-use thing would give Cordo who was not sensitive to combat at first. How helpful it was, and what she was evaluating at high speed in her mind at the moment was Cordoba's use of this peripheral.

The conclusion is: It’s troublesome, but manageable!

But just because he can handle it, it doesn't mean that Xinglong can also handle it.

Southwest Continent, [Supreme Glory] Arena Ruins

"Huh...huh..."

The panting Xinglong tilted his head and glanced at his left hand, which was dripping with blood and bursting from the tiger's mouth. It took him two attempts to prop up his tired and numb body again, even though the [Flame] effect kept his health at all times. Maintained at a high level, but now, the substantial decrease in physical energy and mental energy has made it difficult for him to continue to maintain the offensive. Even if he does nothing like now, he can only rely on various talents and passives to make consumption and The recovery speed is barely the same.

At this moment, almost everyone could see that Xinglong was at the end of his strength, and what was desperate was that Cordoba, who was standing opposite the latter, showed no signs of abnormality except that his body was a little dirty. From his outline that looks like cast metal, people can only feel the cold oppression and the suffocating feeling of falling into the abyss.

No one would blame Xinglong, even his anti-fans, deep down they all believed that Xinglong had done his best. If anyone wanted to blame him, he could only blame Cordoba for being too evil and unreasonable.

Only Xinglong himself stood up straight again when everyone thought he could give up, assumed a posture, and stared at Cordoba with a sharp and fiery look.

He did not give up. Even though it was obviously ugly to continue fighting, he still took steps again and turned into a swift shadow that was no longer sharp and rushed towards Cordoba.

Three punches, five palms, two legs——

Although he was blocked as expected, Xinglong stubbornly continued his offensive until after a few moves, Cordoba, who had no intention of holding back, was caught off guard and knocked three meters away with his elbow. Knock it out of the state of [Xuanli Zhuque Yan].

"It's so enjoyable."

Standing up unsteadily again, he swallowed back the blood that had reached his throat. Xinglong moved his knuckles and said with a smile: "It's so enjoyable that I can't bear to admit defeat."

"Then let's play some more."

Cordoba, whose voice sounded muffled because his visor was automatically pulled down, smiled and gave an answer that was worthy of the money.

"I can't play anymore."

As a result, Xinglong shook his head, and then sat down on the ground. At the same time, he released the three buff states of [Cang Emperor Qinglong Yi], [Vicious Zhan White Tiger Tribulation] and [Mingyin Xuanwu Gu], and sighed in a rare way: "I'm just a little unconvinced."

Cordoba saw that Xinglong had lost his will to fight, so he entered the chatting mode with the mentality of talking for two more minutes as long as he could, and said with a smile: "I told you, I took too many advantages. "

"It has nothing to do with you."

As a result, Xinglong shook his head slightly and said helplessly: "I just feel that if I could have entered the pit earlier or trained myself more, I would have played more happily today, but in the end, my attributes were just a little bit behind."

Noticing Xinglong's gaze towards the four basic runes representing [Speed], [Strength], [Defense] and [Recovery] on his body, Cordoba touched the tip of his nose: "So your meaning is?"

"When I get stronger, let's have another chance to spar."

Xinglong stood up with some difficulty on his knees and extended his right fist to Cordoba: "Still going all out."

"Go all out..."

Cordoba punched Xinglong very happily, and then said seriously: "Then you watch."

"What are you looking at?"

Xinglong was stunned at first, and then his eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.

In front of everyone's eyes, the second set of runes in red, green, yellow, and white lights up instantly. Although it is not particularly dazzling, it almost blinds everyone's eyes in a sense.

"come on!"

Cordoba, who had doubled the amount of basic runes on his body, looked at Awakening Dragon seriously.

"Gan."

Xinglong, who had never used foul language since he entered the industry, cursed and simply chose to admit defeat.
